Recent challenges from a variety of fields suggest a re-examination of the nativist position and its implications for child language and communication research and theory. Basic assumptions crucial to the innatist position influence researchers to ignore the source of input, its characteristics, and its impact on language development. In contrast, from a socio-perceptual/ecological position, the linchpin of the emergence of language is the dynamic structure of the social-interactive environment in which the child develops. Evidence from a series of studies investigating the social and perceptual bases of the emergence of the lexicon is marshaled to support and illustrate this perspective. Parallel arguments can and ought to be constructed to explain other aspects of language learning.
来自各个领域的最新挑战表明，有必要重新审视先天论立场及其对儿童语言与交流研究及理论的影响。对于先天论立场至关重要的基本假设，会影响研究人员忽略输入的来源、其特征以及对语言发展的影响。相比之下，从社会感知/生态立场来看，语言出现的关键在于儿童成长所处的社会互动环境的动态结构。一系列调查词汇出现的社会和感知基础的研究证据被整理出来，以支持和阐明这一观点。可以而且应该构建类似的论据来解释语言学习的其他方面。
